No politician went hungry as a result of the bailout. No politician went homeless in the recovery. It’s no wonder that politicians are completely out of touch with the needs of the people. It’s no wonder that Labour Councillor’s like Dermot Lacey can look down on ‘Snowflakes’ from their Ivory Tower when faced with the harsh economic realities caused by the failures of the Government.

They come looking for our votes and tell us about recovery, they tell us hard choices had to be made, they tell us not to look left, not to think about how they’ve already failed us.

Your choice does not need to be manipulated by the fear they force on you. Your choice should always be for someone who will put your needs first, someone you can relate to, someone who will represent you and what you believe in.

Voting for someone who dismisses ‘Snowflakes’ for asking legitimate questions about the financial burden laid upon them by the government is nothing more than supporting a neoliberal elite who don’t have an ounce of public interest in their hearts.

When this political elite then have the audacity to ridicule the working man and boast that they have no reason to bow to us peasants, then we must remind them who we are.
